The most powerful passport in the world
Each of us has probably thought about a “strong” passport, especially now. I want to be a full member of this world, to come to almost every country without a visa and not have to think again about whether they will let you in or not. The London firm Henley & Partners updates its passport rating every year, let's take a look at it.
The Japanese passport has been in first place for the fifth year now; with it you can visit 193 countries without a visa. Second place is shared by Singapore and South Korea: 192 countries without a visa. The top three are completed by Germany and Spain. With their passports you don't have to worry about visiting 190 countries.
Where does the US passport belong, you ask? This year it shares seventh place with Belgium, the Czech Republic, New Zealand, Norway, and Switzerland. With these passports you have visa-free entry into 186 countries.
In general, leadership is very conditional, in my opinion. Passports in this rating are considered exclusively through the prism of visa-free entry, which cannot give a complete picture. And, you know, 193 countries without a visa and 190 countries is not the biggest difference. But 193 countries and 27 - the difference is colossal. Only 27 countries will allow entry without a visa with an Afghan passport, which ranks last in the ranking.
